Flickards-Lively Program 'Cooks lt Up' It takes four pounds of flour, four pounds of sugar . . . to make a sheet cake for 100 people. This may not seem ordinary to most students but it was for some students in the Rickards-Lively program. The students learned to cook in large quantities in their course of commer- cial cooking at Lively. Other courses offered that the students took were gasoline mechanics, distributive edu- cation, carpentry, automotive mech- anics, graphic arts, electronics, and child care. The 80 ninth through the twelfth grade students in the Rickards- Lively program participated in class- es at Rickards for academic credits they needed for graduation Buses were provided for the students to get to Lively although some drove their own cars. pn Rollin Williams, advanced student in art, practices drawing in the Graphic Arts room at Lively.

Study While Still Emphasizing Class Discussion Paul Collar takes advantage of the paperback books in the English resource center. The paperback books are for leisure as well as class work. UN ou THESE Fx'EF4Nl5M5 GET DDD FDR ENERGY 1' , '?, rw t ,sw . , wtf v ,X W1 'Av Modular scheduling brought indivi- dualized study to most areas ofthe curriculum including English classes. Emphasis however was still placed on class discussion because the English department thought it was best that classes interact. The current writing course was in- dividualized so that students could read paperback books on their own, writing a five page essay on each. Mrs. Emma Cooper was the teacher aide who helped students in their current writing schedule back time. The English resource center located in portable 78 provided magazines tapes, and books for the students use with their English course. Although any student could pick from the courses of his choice, ninth grade students had to take the reading skills program. English teachers had to move from class- room to classroom, this year. Some even had to use rooms in the science wing. f . ff - f A X' fi 1 'U l z Swv' V ' If ,V ,Mui V S , rf, 5-. 5 . M , ! , , . ,531 A. , ,-if 'fliril .1 xA MRS.
